Toonie Racing in VancouverCourtesy Stefan Widmer

Toonie Racing returns in Vancouver! For the second year now, this mini XC racing series in Vancouver is a go starting April 19th. This is a relaxed and fun way to get introduced into XC racing or to get some race training into your legs in preparation for the season!

This yearâ€šs NSMBA Toonie Races, presented by Sugoi and West Point Cycles, will feature 9 races from April to August. Theyâ€šre held almost every second Wednesday night, with different courses on the North Shore and in Buntzen Lake. As the name indicates, these races are a bargain at only 2 dollars apiece with the entire pot going back to the winnings! There are great draw prizes as well, generously donated by Sugoi, West Point Cycles, Rocky Mountain Bicycles, Power Bar, John Henry Bikes, Blak Dog Bikes and Peyto Bicycles.
